I remember my Aunt Louise as a gracious, welcoming woman. She had a great laugh and a generous soul. From what I recall, my Uncle Andy and she lived and loved with a comforting demeanor. The photograph for this guest book really highlights my Aunt Louise's beautiful smile. My thoughts and prayers are with her children and grandchildren. Memories are special and close to the heart. May you find comfort in them and share them if you choose.

May you draw close to God through prayer during this time of great sadness.
